Andrew Eckhard Andrew Eckhard 6'0" Oakville | 2026 MO ( Arsenal Hoops 16U Black): A 6’0″ 2026 point guard from Oakville who plays with tremendous energy and activity. When he gets the ball in the open court, he’s off and running at full tilt boogie. The young lefty is quick and fearless on his downhill attacks to the basket. He can score on the drive or find the open teammate when he draws a defender off his penetration.
******
Terrell Lyles ( Team Ramey 16U): A 6’6″ 2026 forward from Pattonville who played a very strong game when I watched him on Sunday afternoon. He played with plenty of bounce and activity around the basket and he ran the court very well. He is a good finisher inside as he had some solid footwork in the post. His work rate is good which leads to good production.
******
Ryder Collaher (SEMO Select 15U): A 6’2″ 2027 guard from Farmington who was very impressive in the two games that I watched him. He’s a good athlete who plays with tempo as he scored on a number coast to coast drives. He’s a very unselfish player with good court vision. He has a quick first step and he also makes good use of ball fakes to shake defenders to score on the drive or the pull up jumper.
******
Von Kozlowski (Arsenal 16U Black): A 6’5″ 2026 forward from Wentzville Liberty who plays a very effective game in the low post. He has good hands and good footwork and a nice shooting touch around the basket. He can score on the quick drop step and he could also go other either shoulder to get a bucket. He could also step out and knock down the 3-pointer off the catch.
******
Nolan Savoie Nolan Savoie 6'2" Lafayette High School | 2026 MO (Hardwood Elite 16U): A 6’0″ 2026 guard from Lafayette who is a solid ball handler and passer who did a nice job of locating open teammates. He’s a physically strong kid who could ward off pressure defense and get himself into the lane.
******
Kaden Oliver Kaden Oliver 6'2" Canton | 2026 MO (Tri-State Select 16U): A 6’2″ 2026 guard from Canton who is a solid player at both ends of the court. The young lefty plays at a very comfortable pace and he has good playmaking skills. The offense flows with him on the court as he can pass and handle the ball. He can also knock down open 3-pointers.
******
Tyrique Collins-McIntyre Tyrique Collins-McIntyre 5'9" | PG Riverview Gardens Highschool | 2026 MO (Ramey 16U): A 5’6″ 2026 point guard from Riverview Gardens who was one of the quickest guards that I watched during the weekend. He is blur in the open court with his speed as he pushed the ball to give his team that advantage on the break. He could break down defenders to create his own shot to knock down perimeter jumpers.
******
Abhijot Bajwa Abhijot Bajwa 6'4" | SG Holt | 2026 MO ( Dangerous Alliance 17U): A 6’4″ 2026 wing from Wentzville Holt who is long and rangy and a good all-purpose player. He was very comfortable handling the ball and making plays when he needed to. He could score on a nice jump hook in the post or a runner in the lane. His movement without the ball was good and he worked well within the offense.
